Check DM.

[bold escarp]

compact sidebar blur does not work after updating zen to 1.19.9b

anyone having the same issue?

[dim sage]

Same. Url bar blur also doesnt work

Damn this theme finally broke for me after holding it for so long lol

@strong cedar Update pwease 🥺

[ember oasis]

yeah

[gaunt oar]

I hate it when mods break after updates

I'm reverting to previous version. Please mention me this as resolved once it's fixed.

[flint nacelle]

You got to wait till June lol

Arc2.0 is less broken though, only sidebar blur is gone.

And the fucking timing - I can't fix it as I'm away from PC for 2 weeks trip I'm gone for.

[faint wave]

same tag me too when it get fixed xd

[strong cedar]

The fuck 😭😂🤡

[strong cedar]

Will take time 😭😭

[frigid nacelle]

damn firefox 150 breaks blur affects. even on my firefox browser blur isnt working

[flint nacelle]

Idk how you'll do it bro...

Even Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT (codex) failed...

[somber nymph]

@strong cedar man do something

you the vibe code king

[cerulean rapids]

the only way seems to be reporting to firefox itself or pray that will be magically fixed in firefox 151

otherwise, seems to be joever for filter blur

[flint nacelle]

Filter blur is still there.

Just not available anymore for pseudo.

[flint nacelle]

Bro got time to react msg from 3 days ago @alpine bone

[alpine bone]

Haha I'm always watchin' ya bro

[pulsar thistle]

guys I've been trying to get nebula to my zen browser. I downloaded the zip file, copied the relavant files to the profile folder and restarted the browser. yet the browser is showing up the with the same look. how can I fix this?

[limber flame]

The steps to manual install are now somewhat tedious, usually people are using a third party mods/themes manager called "Sine"

[viral stirrup]

Is there any way to set the opacity of the compact stuff untill the blur gets fixed

this is kinda hard to read right now 😛

[flint nacelle]

Use Arc2.0.

No way left to fix it.

[analog bone]

how to fix this after installing nebula?

[cerulean rapids]

You are using M4E, right? Switch to DWMBlurGlass to fix it

[queen gate]

Hey, I've seen multiple people recommending this software instead of M4E but I don't get how to actually use it ? In M4E I had to set zen as a target for it to apply transparency but in DWMBlurGlass I don't see anywhere to specify that and just running the software won't do anything to zen. Am I missing something obvious there ? I haven't seen anyone asking this question

ok sorry for the ping I just didn't install symbol #ReadingIsHard

tho now it does apply to everything since there is no "targetting", unfortunate

[coarse sail]

this is such an old comment but i'm gonna reply to it anyways.

before ferro fell off:

[queen gate]

feeling nostalic huh

[coarse sail]

yea 😢

Summer 2025 was the best

[flint nacelle]

yeah green was right!

[drifting mica]

zen locked custom css??

or mozilla itslef??

[flint nacelle]

No.
Like by default it's off by a pref that goes like custom.stylesheets in about: config.

[drifting mica]

it doesnt affect anyhting what r u saying then ??

[flint nacelle]

Read what Green said - customisation turned off by default.

Although this won't matter if we use Sine

[drifting mica]

it doesnt matter sine can turn on pref required at time of installation

https://tenor.com/view/xafer-wetcat-cat-gif-11000690800512866084

[flint nacelle]

Sine doesn't turn any pref on as it works the way Zen mods does.
You'll notice that Zen Mods also works when this pref is actually disabled.

[drifting mica]

i means can be made to do that if they lock it by default

<insert gharlundmar aggresively jumping>

[rancid sparrow]

Anyone know the theme color combo here to achieve this look?

[ember oasis]

It's just the wallpaper

[rancid sparrow]

Yeah I figured it out but seems like it isn’t too optimized now since it hasn’t been updated in a while

[warm bone]

is there a way i can prevent this from happening on several websites ?

[strong cedar]

turn off
browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser in about:config

[flint nacelle]

Yeah, that's why use Arc-2.0.

[flint nacelle]

Instead suggest user to install dark reader addon.

[strong cedar]

fix for a problem created by urself ahh comment

[flint nacelle]

at least user will get better effects then

[warm bone]

tysm!!!

[weary swan]

when I am using it and I am in compact mode when I toggle the side bar it is all transparent and it overlays the whatever page I am on is there a solution ?

[flint nacelle]

The theme won't be updated anymore; use Arc-2.0.

[strong cedar]

go to about:config and turn on zen.theme.acrylic-elements to true
i think this should fix your issue

[flint nacelle]

that didn't fix it for me though...

[robust turret]

its not becoming transparent for me

any fix?

im on fedora kde

[dim sage]

What. So nebula is dead? Lol

[strong cedar]

[flint nacelle]

[ivory plinth]

[strong cedar]

[flint nacelle]

You two just search for the term "like" and "love" in Arc-2.0 thread; the number of times you'll find those messages will still be much higher than y'all combined IQs can ever be.

[wary wigeon]

[tall hinge]

This is so clean

[ivory plinth]

[strong cedar]

its zen + rounded css + folder tree connectors + better gradient picker

[ivory plinth]

i mean it got abandoned for zen
poor thing

[strong cedar]

and zen library

[strong cedar]

fr

[wary wigeon]

folder tree connectors is goated

[strong cedar]

its doing GREAT on floorp tho

[strong cedar]

ikr
i wish it was the default styling of folders in zen 🥀

[ivory plinth]

who uses floorp

[wary wigeon]

zen library what does this do i turned it on and saw 0 difference

[wary wigeon]

ikr

[strong cedar]

you need to add the library icon at the bottom

[wary wigeon]

ahh ic

[strong cedar]

then

[tall hinge]

I have absolutely no clue what any of this means. I just want my browser to look pretty, so i settled on arc 2.0 😔

[ivory plinth]

i just realized "zen" was neccesary

[strong cedar]

yup 💀

btw

cheffie saying next week we getting library on twilight

[wary wigeon]

DAMN i love this now

[ivory plinth]

wow (i have no idea whats library)

[strong cedar]

#1459603758399885362

[wary wigeon]

🥀 cant beleive i was using the default zen for 4 months before locking in yesterday

[ivory plinth]

when library is opened why does the actual screen gets a bit blurry tho

[strong cedar]

huhh

maybe some anti aliasing issue, does not happen to me tho

[ivory plinth]

wait wehre are my glasses

[wary wigeon]

brooo the details are so good
the lil animation and all

🗿 now i want it

[limber flame]

not centered 🥀

[strong cedar]

those were added just a few days ago because i made them for the real library feature, but added it in this mod for testing the animations

[strong cedar]

yea 🥀

[wary wigeon]

NOOOOO now i cant unsee it

[wary wigeon]

🥹 any idea on realease date

[strong cedar]

weird shit

[strong cedar]

next week on twilight (as per cheffy) but it wont have spaces section

[wary wigeon]

oh i liked the spaces section alot tho 😔

well have to be patient

[strong cedar]

yea but its really hard to make
so he will take his time to cook smth good

[wary wigeon]

nice let him cook 🔥

i will go find some performance mod as yt takes 2 business days to load

[strong cedar]

try removing nebula

nubulu hits performance

[wary wigeon]

🗿 it will break my flow

nubulu 🎀

🤔 maybe hardware acceleration or something will help

[ivory plinth]

im using discord in webiste (dont ask reason) so when i pop up library the main screen text looks a bit very little weird

[strong cedar]

mhmm

weird

[wary wigeon]

its okay here but gets cut off

[ivory plinth]

you could notice it a bit (first is when library not opened second is when opened)

[strong cedar]

cut off?

[strong cedar]

oo

[wary wigeon]

the website gets cut off expected tho

[strong cedar]

yea thats intentional, arc on macos does that too

[wary wigeon]

arc has this too?

damn.

[strong cedar]

yea this feature is taken from arc like most zen features

boosts also

[wary wigeon]

hmmmm its not hapening to me tho ig cuz m using zen internet

[wary wigeon]

ahh ic lol

[strong cedar]

i use nothing but it still does not happen to me 🥀

[wary wigeon]

what does that do

[wary wigeon]

maybe something in appearance and performance setting in windows doing it

[strong cedar]

#announcements message

[ivory plinth]

my eyes can't lie🥀

[strong cedar]

maybe

[wary wigeon]

oh the thing i did manually with stylus

🥀 fuck another L for me

[strong cedar]

haha

[wary wigeon]

sir u got too good eyes downgrade a bit

[strong cedar]

boosts are much better since they dont hit performance

[wary wigeon]

😔 i shall go and redo it with boost

[ivory plinth]

okh

[odd rapids]

heyy man, i just discovered ur mod and its awesomeeeee i really like how it feels native :D but i can only access it through the keyboard shortcut and the icon doesnt show up on the sidebar even tho i cleared startup cache and restarted multiple times, I would really like to get the icon on the sidebar. Is there a way? or is this a bug only on macOS? thankss

also is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut? im kinda new with using mods

[strong cedar]

the icon needs to be added, right click on sidebar and customize toolbar

you need to add that zen library icon at the bottom
